There are people who abuse Hinduism saying Manu smriti is bad ,Castiest, Miscogenist etc and also burn it.
However, Even Buddhist Countries used to follow the law based on Manu Smriti called Manu Dhammasattham
Today we would see some concepts in Manu Dhammasattham

Manu Dhammasattham was the book which was used by kings of Myanmar in Mediaval era Burmese Kingdom.

Manu Dhammasattham views on selling Wife and Children( Even ,I don't find in Manu Smriti which is considered as Evil by Ambedkerites)
Now let us see what it says for selling children
Now ,some Ambedkarites may argue that "Atleast they don't have Castesim". So let use see even that.
Let us continue it.
Other thing in Manudhammasattham. It also says that.
0 great king! The following five kinds of witnesses
should not be required to take an oath, or undergo the ordeal by
water or rice; their evidence shall be considered as true:โPriests,
kings, queens, princes, princesses.

On Chapter Theft. These people are given easy pass!!!
173. 0 great king! Theft committed by the following persons
shall not be penal: rahans, brahmans, kings, lunatics, children,
old persons in their dotage. Thus has the Rishi Manu decided.

On Adultry
0 great king! If a man commits adultery with woman
of royal blood, the compensation shall be four times (the price of
the womanโs body); if with Brahmin woman, three times; if
with Kshatriya woman (a cultivatorโs wife), once. Thus have the
teachers of old pointed out.

So people who make rubbish comments on Hinduism must know that even other texts of other religions also have versus harsher than we expect.
